My dear human friend, there is too ...Hi Manic Chef,<br />My dear human friend, there is too much setting off of fireworks in uncontrolled situations. And it isn't just the youth. Fireworks are dangerous and like I mentioned in my posting, hospital's accident and emergency units would concur.<br />Fireworks, I believe should be watched at controlled public displays. Freedom of choice is a bit of a grey area when it comes to situations that can cause mishaps, sometimes with tragic consequences.<br />Over here, fireworks, during Halloween and Guy Fawkes are readily available for purchase. I'm sorry, my friend, but I've got a problem with the sale of them to the public.<br />Thank you for understanding how frightening this time of year can be for me and many of us creatures.<br />Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, your way, Penny xxklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-15313967885972348382011-11-09T17:15:03.279+00:002011-11-09T17:15:03.279+00:00Hi Penny ..

I can feel your pain - it's over for this year .. but I'm afraid there will be some more as Christmas and 2012 approaches .. we just don't realise the pain we inflict on innocent creatures around us ...

I know some youth can be so ignorantly heartless, but that is youth. No escaping it. But, I do understand your dilemma. But, I have to say I don't agree with banning fireworks. I grew up with Fireworks available, and we handled them properly, and only bought them when the day called for them...like the 4th of July and such. Accidents do happen even back in my day as a youth, but on the whole most kids came away unscathed. I strongly believe in freedom of choice. But to explode them in front of someone else's home is not acceptable. We would do them in the fields or the streets, or our own backyards, we were raised properly, otherwise we would get whipped royally! We never had them available on Halloween, no one every used them back then, no need to much fun scaring people on the streets in the middle of the night.....BOOOOOOOOO! I feel your pain, take care.....later little buddy!The Manic Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587881609957361468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-69186256819303896002011-11-07T19:37:02.817+00:002011-11-07T19:37:02.817+00:00Hi Chris' parakeets,

For at least a week (and it seems like forever) I hear those loudenboomer noises all around my house and I stick so close to my human, Manzanita, that she steps on me. What a pity that humans love those loud noises. <br />Thinking of you and wishing you silence. <br />Your Montana cow-dog friend, Cody.<br /><a href="http://beajayblock.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Manzanita@Wannabuyaduck</a>Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-85814565066262840502011-11-03T00:27:50.207+00:002011-11-03T00:27:50.207+00:00Hi Nancy,

I just wish this symbolism was celebrated at safe, public displays. Those idiots who run down the streets setting them off, are total morons. <br />Ah yes, I've heard about your 4th of July celebrations and how some idiots over there think it's okay to set them off a week prior. Maybe they are getting mixed up with July 1st and Canada Day.<br />Thanks for your empathy and I hope it was a quiet Halloween for you :)<br />Thanks Kelly and I shall say 'howldy' to Gary...<br />Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xxklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-38854368800954147682011-11-01T06:18:22.067+00:002011-11-01T06:18:22.067+00:00From Bazza’s cat Ginger:

Then I looked up who Fawkes was and it was pretty interesting reading. I didn't know until Gary and you had talked about it in the past and currently, in the present, that they shot off so many fireworks over there around this time of year over that big day. Damn, it sounds like how the Fourth of July is over here in the U.S. Crazy dumbasses, over here, will let off fireworks for a week or so before Independence Day even arrives. And yeah, it scares the beejeebies out of me because I, like you, freak out, suddenly, with loud and sudden pops and bangs. In other words, I empathize with you.<br /><br />Take care, Penny and say howdy to Gary for me .Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605551857342134163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4219984917795758890.post-22996907996878221852011-11-01T03:11:51.586+00:002011-11-01T03:11:51.586+00:00Hi Ray,
